CmcAun, III Dec .11. At tho eighty-

Commercial Club of this city, Saturday
night, the subject cf discussion was: "Tho
Interstate Commerce 1-aw, lis F.tfect Upon
the Kailroiuls and the Uusiuess of tlio

Among the apcukcrs were rrcsident la-
galls, of the "Itig Four" Uoad, and United
Stales Senator Duwos, of MiiAiaehuselts.
fy'nator Dawes, when asked by a reporter
today for tho substance of bis siicech, de
clined to give it, as he understood the
meeting to bo a secret one. He had no
hositatic. however, in cxpresslug his
views. I le snid: "The question Involves, to
begin with, tho relation which out-lit to
exist between the shipers and thu rail
roads, aud there ought never lie any leg
islation which will bring antagonism. In
ternal commerce hss increased to such an
amaxlng extent that it has become abso
lutely neeesHiiry to havo common control.
The ditliculty is n it In luck of power, but
in its exercise. We aro too ant
to judge tho law by its immediate rather
"than by iu ultimate clTcd on thoso ho
are passing judgment. Massachusetts
complains bitterly of the long and short
clauses. Chli-ag.i complaius of tho i.rohi-
bitlon of pooling, and hipers from loc.ili
ties complain that their exicf tations of re
lief from unjust discriminations havo not
Is-en realised. There is no renmiiiuble
irrouud to expect a itv.s'iil of the law.
There is, on the ot hi i hand, u reason to
expect an eiiliiTveinciit of its mosj and

completed taking testimony sevond day

made a thorough examination nf the legal

no pretvdeut for interfering by injunction
with ollicial conduct unless property

case, he suggest, lire ulliciciit to Justify
a chancellor in making a precedent, in
view of the uniform practice ol Chanocry
